These changes add the ability to specify that a UFS file/directory
cannot be unlinked. This is basically a scaled back version
of the IMMUTABLE flag. The reason is to allow an administrator
to create a directory hierarchy that a group of users
can arbitrarily add/delete files from, but that the hierarchy
itself is safe from removal by them.
If the NOUNLINK definition is set to 0
then this results in no change to what happens normally.
(and results in identical binary (in the kernel)).
It can be proven that if this bit is never set by the admin,
no new behaviour is introduced..
Several "good idea" comments from reviewers plus one grumble
about creeping featurism.
This code is in production in 2.2 based systems
-DUSE_NANOSLEEP. Also, seperate the code for _THREAD_SAFE so that it uses
the simpler threaded nanosleep() call in libc_r.. We don't go to the same
extremes for emulating traditional sleep semantics (ie: eating any SIGALRM
that might happen) which things like apache seem to depend on.
- bde's change to includes section in getrpcent.3
- Lost comment in svc_run.c (the code here was actually the same since
I had fixed the 'fds + 1' bug in my stuff at home before mailing
Peter about it, but I didn't notce that he'd made a change to the
comment right above the changed line).
Also pointed out by the ever vigilant: bde
This concludes tonight's entertainment. Once I'm sure I haven't destroyed
the world with all these changes, I'll import the utilities. Everything
should continue to work as before. If it doesn't let me know.
Special thanks to Mark Murray for running a test 'make world' for me to
shake out the bugs, which, hopefully, I have fixed.
(And there was much rejoicing.)
ppp (or will be shortly). Natd can now be updated to use
this library rather than carrying its own version of the code.

visible type names in prototypes in user space headers. libutil.h
generates warnings with -Wall over the use of "const char *ttyname".
It's lucky it wasn't a #define conflict.
Is a single '_' prefix acceptable? or does it need to be two?
value, it appears as though the semantics of usleep are that it doesn't
return early. (only in the nanosleep code - the setitimer code does this
already)
(nanosleep) breaks Apache httpd badly: his childs died quickly after
number of requests (SIGPIPE). To reproduce this bug start
gdb /usr/local/sbin/httpd
run -X
and make some bunch of concurent requests (load the server pages
from 3 different places f.e.)
After short time httpd dies via SIGPIPE. It never dies with old sleep.c
In real life it looks like lots of broken images on the pages or missing
pages. Lynx says about Network read error, etc.
It seems something wrong in nanosleep signal handling.
back as designed in *BSD
Also it not violates current standards but
1) No other Unixes have this feature
2) It broke Kerberos5 (isprint) and God knows what else
(not all vendors will agree to treat FreeBSD as special case for support
since (1))
2) Give false localization sense (programs mimic to be 8859-1
localized) which prevents true localization.
bumped only 0.1 or 1.0 between releases. (See handbook.)
Note that if you have built world in -current in the last 48 hours or
so, you should manually remove /usr/lib/libutil.so.2.3 before
rebuilding world to cleanse your system.
o Incorporated BSDI code and enhancements, better logging for error
checking (which has been shown to be a problem, and is therefore
justified, imho); also some minor things we were missing, including
better quad_t math, which checks for under/overflows.
o setusercontext() now allows user resource limit overrides, but
does this AFTER dropping root privs, to restrict the user to
droping hard limits and set soft limits within the kernel's
allowed user limits.
o umask() only set once, and only if requested.
o add _secure_path(), and use in login.conf to guard against
symlinks etc. and non-root owned or non-user owned files being
used. Derived from BSDI contributed code.
o revamped authentication code to BSDI's latest api, which
includes deleting authenticate() and adding auth_check()
and a few other functions. This is still marked as depecated
in BSDI, but is included for completeness. No other source
in the tree uses this anyway, so it is now bracketed with
#ifdef LOGIN_CAP_AUTH which is by default not defined. Only
auth_checknologin() and auth_cat() are actually used in
module login_auth.c.
o AUTH_NONE definition removed (collided with other includes
in the tree). [bde]
o BSDI's login_getclass() now accepts a char *classname
parameter rather than struct passwd *pwd. We now do likewise,
but added login_getpwclass() for (sort of) backwards
compatiblity, namely because we handle root as a special
case for the default class. This will require quite a few
changes elsewhere in the source tree.
o We no longer pretend to support rlim_t as a long type.
o Revised code formatting to be more bsd-ish style.
